Soul Eater

Last Updated: 06-03-2010

This happens to be one of those 'death threat cosplays' (ie: Someone says, "Do this cosplay with us or you won't see the light of day," or something like that XDD). Luckily my friends and I have managed to get a group going, so it's turned into a "I can't wait for this cosplay!" cosplay XDD

With the dub Soul Eater has taken off (I like the dub...), so...I joined the wave XD The hardest part I think will be the shoes, which will be altered with belts and craft foam to look nice. The only bought part of the cosplay will be the vest, and that's only if I can't find a nice knit fabric. The skirt, however, will be plaided (if that's a word) myself with bias tape, then nyagi will help me pleat it, since she's the master at it XDD Even the buttons will be made myself with a lil' love and clay. XD I'm still excited, lol.

EDIT:
1/15: The cosplay, although missing its appropriate gathering, was a complete success at ALA! <3 Thanks to everyone who appreciated our hard work and efforts. The wig still needs work, but I THINK it's good now, haha. The coat was made without a pattern (yay me!) and the buttons are made from clay. I REALLY need to get a better vest because I can't make one to save my life. For AX I plan to make Maka's custom shirt and destiffen the tie (yes, I made the tie from fabric. The tie pattern is me XD). THE SKIRT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART. In HATING all the wrong plaid skirts, I made my own pleats AND PLAID 8DDDD Turned out wonderful thanks to my Tsubaki, nyagi! 8DDD *heart heart* The shoes turned out very well as well, and those are from craft foam and hot glue, haha. Can't wait to work out the kinks XD
6/3: Wearing this to Fanime when it was warm was certainly not the best idea I've ever had XD But the coat was SIGNIFICANTLY trimmed so it makes me happy xD The wig also got a huge trim, so it looks much better. At this point I'm looking for a better tie and vest, but that'll come when I have time :p
